Atalanta-Torino 1-1
The first half was unlocked in the 23rd minute with Bellanova, but the referee, recalled by the VAR, disallowed the goal for a touch of the arm of the Nerazzurri winger. Atalanta took the lead in the 35th minute, when Djimsiti heads the net to make it 1-0 following a corner kick. After just five minutes, Torino equalises with a header from Maripan which makes it 1-1. In the last second of the first half Brescianini has the ball to take the lead, but Lazaro sacrifices himself and sends it wide.
In the second half the goddess pushes to look for the three points. In the 72nd minute Retegui is pulled in the area by Tameze, for the referee it is a penalty. Retegui steps up to the spot and is hypnotized by Milinkovic Savic (third penalty saved out of three in this championship). After a few minutes Pasalic also has the chance to make it 2-1, but his volley ends up just high. Ends 1-1.
Gasperini's team wastes a golden opportunity to relaunch themselves in the race for the Scudetto, which seems to increasingly belong to Napoli and Inter.
The Granata, on the other hand, obtained a good point away from home and extended their lead to 27 points, moving to +7 above the relegation zone.
Bologna-Como 2-0
The first half was all about the red and blues. After just two minutes, Lykogiannis forced Butez into a great save on a free kick. In the 14th minute, Lucumi hit the crossbar with a header following a corner. In the 25th minute, Bologna took the deserved lead with a header from From Silvestri. In the 38th minute, another crossbar for the home team, this time with Dallinga. For Como it rains on the wet and Fadera in the 38th minute is sent off, after having been previously cautioned, for having addressed a few words too many to the referee.
In the second half Fabregas' team made their presence felt with the young Diao in the 51st minute, but his shot ended just wide. Bologna responded with Fabbian who scores the 2-0 with an assist from Miranda. In the 70th minute another opportunity for Como, but Ikoné's shot grazes the post. A minute later the rossoblù respond with a header from Beukema, but Butez is good at putting it in the corner. In the 80th minute the guests come close to scoring again, with Nico Paz's cross being deflected by Moro and hitting the crossbar. It ends 2-0.
Important victory for Italiano's team who joins Juventus at 27 points and who in 2025 have not yet lost a match in all competitions.
For Como the situation is starting to become delicate. Fabregas' team is currently on 22 points, only two more than the relegation zone.
